- I never knew a Quantizer would be SO useful! It made my eurorack modular synth musical (to my ears) It guides you a bit more into the easy module world of things. Allowing you to get the modular sound, but without the headache! Use the modular with samples and some typical sounds and its a perfect blend of samples, playing, and modular stuff. My favorite would have to be the Intellijel Scales, even though i know the ACL Sinfonion is an amazing quantizer but i needed a small quantizer. The Erica Synths Quantizer is great, but a bit too limited for my needs. Intellijel Scales checks all the boxes and more.

I have literally no idea what is going on in any of these modular videos but, I love them.
There are things that bleep and things that bloop and things that tell them when to do it, then you have beautiful music. For best results, be Ricky Tinez.
12:45 Ricky, feel yourself hugged ... watching you sit-dance along with the sequence was soooo refreshing and inspiring. Thank you ever yo much for your videos and this video. All the best, Henrik
The fact that Scales can also do SH-101 type sequencing is another reason it is such a great module. May be tough in a live setting to use it that way, but Tin Man shows it can be done.
This video got more helpful each time I watched it and it is nice seeing you in an almost similar space right now, trying to bring the modular into a territory that is more usable with other musicians.
Genuinely never seen anyone get this excited (and inspired) over quantiser module before :) the pairing with Surface works really well. I’m definitely inspired to try my Sonic Kitchen Penrose quantiser with my Rings module, although it does lack the flexibility of Surface. In my experience, less is more - fewer notes but used well gives a better performance. My go-to key at the moment is Em pentatonic
It's so inspirational seeing you get so excited about the new ways of making music you discover/stumble upon. :)
Nice stuff bro makes modular so much more accessible and easy for making beats quickly with other conventional gear.
When Ricky gets happy- you better listen ;0) Let's go!
It's dope how you make music I don't necessarily listen to. And your process is nothing like my process. But your passion and care paired with your videography is enough to keep me checkin your content. Dope 🤙🏿
Straight fire. It's cool how you transmit your excitement when shit gets dope. Makes your videos a lot of fun. Much love fron chile
sounding absolutely beautiful 🤩, when i eventually can afford to get into modular scales will definitely be in my kit!!! thanks for the video man!!!
Watched this vid before I got a Scales and watching it again 6 months later now that I finally got my hands on one. So hard to find - took me 6 months looking. Bought used off Reverb. Literally sold out across entire internet for half a year. Excited to pair it with my DFAM, the dual-channels should be a perfect match for the dual oscillators. Great ideas in this vid, keep it up :)
Great episode! 🤩 Although I must admit, sometimes it didn’t sound soo much in tune with the loop to my ears 🧐😊🥳 But really great! Thanks. :)
Actually i was thinking... man, it must be first time i witness someone plays with quantizer so out of tune...
Maybe there was also some post quantize pitch modulation going on.
you used too many words for 'it sounded like shit'
@@metokyo4960 haha i think i hit the fine tune at some point :X
@@RickyTinez that's why I think all modular voices must have "tune lock" or "set to C" buttons
So just like the Saturday mornings of old I wait for Ricky to come on so I can sit in front of the TV for my weekly dose. Share the love, share the knowledge, knowledge is power, peace!
Mine arrives tomorrow, with Pam's New Workout and Mutable's Ears and Kinks... That's gonna be a nice parcel waiting for me when I get home! Really looking forward to seeing what Scales can do.
I love learning from you I get jams the whole time
Awesome! favourite clip so far!! Thanx man!!!!
Great Module!!!!
The uScales looks rad, but if anybody is hunting for potentially cheaper alternative check the O_c
Ricky is not using the uScales (Micro-scales) which has unfortunately been discontinued, and is probably what would have suited him better (slimmer, smaller). He''s using the Scales which is the successor and is bigger and more powerful.
Nah... The Kassutronics Quantizer. 👍
sssh!!! i'm trying to ignore that one! :)
or the Penrose Quantizer
And he is always so fucking friendly and radiating positiv vibes... I like this! Peace brother and thank you so much for your videos.
Hey there, here's some tip: Using a quantizer you might want to tune the vco. The pitch control knob kind of kills your scale for it offsets your pitch. Keep up the great sound, i love it.
Yes. Please.
I soo need to build me a lil case like that. Flames as usual Ricky. Your videos are the only ones that make me wanna get up and dance every time. Thanks dude
Scales and Steppy made me an Intellijel fanboy. Completely changed the way I approach making music with my modular.
appreciate your demeanour, listening to you calms me lol
You should check out the possibility of using a micro Ornament and Crime, running the Hemisphere suite custom firmware, as an alternative to this. You could do four separate channels of quantizing, or 2 channels, and then run some other utility (like slew or a shift register) on the other half. It's only menu divy when choosing which applet to run on each half, and once selected is pretty immediate to use.
I use this, O and C is sooo good! There is a new version with a 303 style sequencer
Yup, this
Not quite as immediate though, since it doesn't have keyboard buttons. Ricky also mentioned in the video that Scales already does more than he needs.
Man...love your videos, getting me through this stinkin covid life lockdown
What a beautiful jam!
You nailed that house vibe 👍👍
That was beautiful, thank you!
Mine literally just arrived! Great timing!!!
This jam sounded soooooooo good.
This video inspired me to use a different scale and rondom notes on my Monostation works perfectly 😀
Literally just picked one up yesterday to go along with my mimetic!
Nice one! Looks like a fun system to play with.
I have to say Rick Your channel has helped me understand how important it is that i start building a EuroRack Modular.... But one problem... No job, and very poor... Like poverty line looks rich to me.. But i was able to get a Neutron for xmas (early) and it is my first analog gear and i LOVE IT!!! It is amazing... band new for 246.50 I'm in love... I mean dont get me wrong i love my MicrowaveXT and will never part with it but this synth has added some new fun for this 40yr old kid :)
I got about 20 spaces left in the rack, been looking at Scales, thanks buddy!
Just a note,
If you're going with quantisers, make sure, your oscillators are in tune.
It's like at 5:40, oscillator pitch was actually around one tone lower, than the quantiser was showing. So be careful, something you see is not what you hear!
Yeah that was painful
Ditto... I don’t have perfect pitch but that klanker got my attention too.
I was wondering if Ricky tuned the surface beforehand.
Yea my fault haha, i was lazy and went by ear on a complex wavetable sound :/ Thanks for the heads up Ian! Sorry everyone!
Lovely video
Thanks for the knowledge!
The only ADDAC module i have is their (quad) Intuitive Quantizer. Small footprint (10HP), 4 chained quantizers and gate in/outs per! It can tame up to four pitch beasts at once!
Nice. What also looks nice is the Noise Engineering - Lapsus Os, I was just looking for an attenuverter :)
Is it just me or was the surface not tuned to the chords? everything sounded off to me
I think it took a few rounds before he got it dialed in, but he got there. The first few dozen bars were off.
Hi Ricky, have you ever considered swapping out the Mimetic for a Turing Machine to get slowly evolving random melodies?
I was thinking the same thing. but an O_c would be nice too
Great video! I was wondering what the purpose was of having both the Steppy AND the Digitalis, since they're both sequencers. Does the Digitalis just do randomizing that the Steppy can't do? Also, are you running the Black Box through your modular system as well?
Everything changed everything
For anyone interested ( including the blackbox and case ) this setup will run you approx £2.6K
And a lot of the same functionality can be replicated by a novation monostation I picked up for €150 second hand
I add Scales ontop of Bloom in patches and have one of the outputs on Chance go into Scales :)
Dallas Berry Official any video on that? Always think a complementary module for Bloom's branch & mutation..
Move the monsoon to another case and add a Desmodus Versio. All the effects you need and a button push riser.
damn Rick, thats so tight! 12:43 ...
I use tiptop quantizer for same thing 🤓... love your videos
Yep. Scales is top of my list of modules I still need.
Did you tune the Surface?
Disting has a quantizer, and so does the new Pamela firmware. 8x quantizers w/pam!
Dope as always! You still have the Zoia laying around? You can do exactly this but then for midi. Use the Zoia as the sequencer, quantize and so on. And drive a external device over midi. Have a nice week man!
Peace Ricky! I was wondering if you could eventually do a video with your Tascam 424 and how tape recorders work. I.e can you simultaneously record the 4 tracks? If not what is your work around? Thanks for the content ✌🏾
Dope video. One thing...I think the modular is not quite in tune with the rest...sounds out of place. Surface needs calibration?
For small rigs Pamela's New Workout is the Graal of of modules.
Depends on the type of the ladder, transistor ladder can be fun ;)
After 11:00, I lost it. That random arp bassline situation... and then the beat drops back in. ooooweeee! DO NOT make me get into modular.... PLEASE!
12:55 STARTET LAUGHING BEcause how good this sounded
Hi, can you explain how you make the low sounds, sound good for people who are looking at your videos on their phone?
Do you mix your voice with gadget output? Or are you recording the whole thing with microphones?
Hell yes Ricky! This is a great one. *Immediately starts searching Reverb for Scales*
Seems like the wear and tear on all that plugin and unplugin would get dirty after a while...Sounds dope tho...
Hi
everything is always very melodic here ... we always have good musical moments there!
question in passing: do you have a favorite brand for your (many) audio cabling?
thanks for your return!
GVL
Pretty sure he uses a lot of HOSA cables
What's your local shop in LA?
Hey ricky, would one be able hook this up the Subharmonicon in order to keep it in a certain key?
Check out the (MT) Turing Machine for your random patterns.. could be another revelation!
Excelent video! like always...
Master i need your help please! :D
I want to buy a drum machine for minimal music.
So i been think in the digitakt, analogh rythm mk2, analog four mk2 or tanzbar 2
Which one do you recommend please!
throw a turing machine in there and you'll be set :) (for a small system the 2hp TM is ideal)
You could save 2hp by using Intellijels μScale instead, but the Scales interface seems more intuitive to me.
What made you choose scales over uscales?
So damn good. Damn you Ricky for making me check my bank account and crying. 😂
This video was very useful. It convinced me that I didn’t want to buy the Surface. The rest of it was cool, for sure, but the tones from it were... not my style
Get to 100k by 2021 or die tryin 😋
I use the same phones.
I think it takes a lot of skill to make modular sound musical. Kind of like free jazz.
"Very annoying" hehe, made me laugh :D great vid tho
when you hit play on those chords i said 'ooooooooooohhh' outloud
Ya I Bought Instruo Harmongei Cuz everyone in the Eurorack world boosts it. I hate it.. I always new deep down scales was my type of quantizer. And damn was I right.
Morel of the story always go with your gut..
And for me on the other hand, synths, especially modular are all about weird, wild noise and lucky accidents and modules that have an unpredictable life of their own.
Couldn't believe when i first heard people want to "tune" wild noisemakers like that.
If you like scales.... let me tell you about the Sinfonion...
12:22 - 13:00 on repeat
The real question .... Prophet 5 voice,,,, or ,,, Prophet 10 voice... I say 10...
Gah i knoooowww.. 😭
10
You need to order some audio cables with right angle plugs from Redco or something. Just sayin'.
beats from BIA？😮❤
The last bar of the sample is a G major 7 - not a G minor😅
But in the end of the first half of the sample its a minor type sound but difficult to hear with beat and modular on top 😅
It's jazzy and plays around in multiple keys so that's why it doesn't really fit😅
it's a difficult sample to work with tonality-wise, but hey man still love your videos 🔥❤️
“So simpol - no skill involled at alll” - tai mai shu
Intellijel + Mimetic + Roids = Sinfonion 😂
*unobstructed ? lol
I love Intellijel gear but damn their customer service is trash. I got a doa module from them and they made me pay customs fees since they’re in Canada and shipping to send it back. When I asked them about refunding those fees they refused smh
That sounds unusual. For something that was under warranty and had problems out of the box like this we would go out of our way to make sure the customer does not incur any costs. Many other customers would attest to this for sure. If you send me a message to our support e-mail I will review the circumstances.
Found your support ticket and totally agree with you! Refund sent and sorry for the mixup!
@@danjelvantijnintellijel756 thanks for taking action and making it right. I see the PayPal receipt now. I really appreciate it. The module works fine now too thankfully.
Ricky is saying, "it just fits" and I'm listening and it really don't, bro. For the first half of the video, the oscillator is just totally off key.
ADDAC intuitive quantizer
sooo out of tune
farts
Aaah one day I'll get a neat modular setup like that. I'm loving my Korg Volca Modular tho.
Me too. The korg modular is brilliant. Paired with the drum, superb.
I miss the one I had!
Why does ricky always look like he's so clean, I bet he smells good
he probably showers...
“He’s articulate, too.” JB
A strange comment made by someone named tummy licker
LMAO
XD
I bet he wears Bijan for men.
Yeah, scale quantizers where you can select notes in and out are awesome! Discovered the power of those early on in my VCV Rack adventures and it completely changes/enhances the way you can make music. E.g. mix two different type LFO's at different speeds into an attenuator and then the quantizer. It's a whole universe to be discovered. The power of CV!!
Oh my.. This is SO awesome. I immediately tried it out. Thanks!

This guy is like gear lust incarnate, lol.
I love how excited you're getting about a quantizer. Your videos always make me happy. Enjoy your "ladder". 😄
Of all the TH-cam channels this is my absolute favourite. It just feels like I'm sitting in the same room digging those funky beats by 👑Tinez
Dude you and Mylar get my brain ticking about Modular brains. It has made my journey a little easier with so many ins and outs with Modular. You should make little Modular tip manuals and offer them on Patreon. I'd subscribe just for that.
